Yeah, there is a few tropes and some formula, but in my opinion, those are buried sufficiently deep beneath two very important things:(1) This movie HAS a message, and it is a good one, a positive one, he is not presented too sickly sweet, and(2) it is a sweet romantic story he is not Hollyweird gross.The basic plotline follows our two main characters, Tim (Messina) and Janice (Fischer).
